...﻿Chapter 3 : Early African Societies and the Bantu Migrations
Explain the connections between climate, agriculture, and the Nile River in the development of Egypt and Nubia.
Egypt referred to not the territory embraced by the modern state of Egypt, but to the ribbon of land bordering the lower third of the Nile between the Mediterranean and the river's first cataract near Aswan. Cataracts are an unnavigable stretch of rapids and waterfalls. The Sahara became increasingly arid, cultivators flocked to the Nile Valley and established societies that depended on intensive agriculture. Egyptians were able to take better advantage of the Nile's annual floods than the Nubians to the south because of their broad floodplains. They turned Egypt into an especially productive agricultural region that was capable of supporting a much larger population than were Nubian lands. The Greek Historian Herodotus proclaimed Egypt the "Gift of the Nile" because of its prosperity. Migrants from the Red Sea Hills in northern Ethiopia traveled down the Nile Valley and introduced to Egypt and Nubia the practice of collecting wild grains , a language ancestral to Coptic (ancient Egypt) to the lower reaches of the Nile Valley. Sudanic cultivators and herders moved down the Nile as the climate grew hotter and drier introducing Egypt and Nubia to African crops like watermelon and gourds, while Mesopotamians wheat and barley also came. They built dikes to protect their fields from floods...

WorldHistory Expansion Essay
Throughout the history expansion, groups have set out conquer various lands, people, and cities for a multitude of reasons; social, political, economic, and environmental. The three groups that are known for their similar expansion efforts are the Mongols, Spanish, and Ottoman.
From 1180 to 1220, Mongolia experienced ad drop in temperature. This meant that the growing season would be cut short, and it would become difficult for the Mongols’ animals to survive. Without animals, the Mongol society could not survive either. This decreased the trade from North and Northwest. The Mongols needed to obtain goods, but without this, Mongols initiated attack and invasion against the two dynasties. Organization was the key to Mongols’ armies. They had 10 squadrons; the ten of them formed a Quran of 1,000 men. The Mongols applied these techniques with greater force. This would prove useful in overpowering the great Chinese cities years ahead. They received tribute and trade because they had control of the trade routes. In order to expand to other lands, the Mongols used qualified people. They did not, however, tinker with systems that didn’t work well. In 1189 to 1243, Yelu Qucai demonstrated how much wealth the region could produce. The Mongols kept this system in place. As this was kept up, everything and everyone remained in their positions.
